Responsible play
If this has stopped being fun, the numbers below are more use than anything else on this site. They’re confidential, and you don’t have to have hit a crisis to call one.
Where to get help
- National Problem Gambling Helpline (US) — the national helpline, run by the National Council on Problem Gambling. Call or text 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738). Call, text and chat, 24/7/365, and confidential. No payment or insurance details are asked for, though your carrier's usual text rates still apply if you text. Chat at 1800myreset.org. 1-800-522-4700 is the older number for the same helpline and still reaches it.
- 1-800-GAMBLER — run by the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey. Call or text 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537). CCGNJ describes it as free, confidential and answered 24/7. More at 800gambler.org. This is the number printed on a lot of gambling advertising. It is a separate service from the national helpline above, which stopped using this number in September 2025.
- Gamblers Anonymous — local and online meetings. Listed at gamblersanonymous.org.
- Gam-Anon — for people affected by somebody else's gambling. Meetings are listed at gam-anon.org.
If the site you use offers its own limits or self-exclusion tools, they will be on that site rather than here. We don’t record which sites offer what, so check the operator’s own page rather than relying on a summary from us that could go stale.
Signs worth taking seriously
- Buying coins with money set aside for something else.
- Playing longer than you meant to, most times you sit down.
- Not wanting anybody to know how much you’ve spent.
- Buying again straight after a bad session to make the last one back.
- Feeling worse afterwards more often than better.
You are the best judge of which of these apply to you. Any one of them is worth paying attention to, and several of them together is worth a phone call — you don’t have to be certain anything is wrong before you make it.
What we won’t do
- Tell you to spend more, buy a bigger package, or try somewhere else after a loss.
- Suggest that playing more is a route to getting anything back. It isn’t.
- Treat a small budget as a problem to be talked out of.
- Use urgency, countdowns, or “don’t miss out” language anywhere.
Age
Ten of the twelve sites here record a minimum age. Eight of those set it at 21, or the age of majority where that is higher; one sets it at 18; one says only “the age of majority”. For WOW Vegas and Moozi we have not recorded an age at all. Don’t assume 18 is enough — check the operator’s own terms before you sign up.
